What made the experience of listening to Cast in Courtlight the most enjoyable?

The characters are very well done. Kaylin is a character you can relate to, plays to the beat of her own drum, can't seem to be on time or quite put together, but a great main character, one you can root for. Severn is the ultimate, quiet hero, one you can depend upon, one that doesn't judge. The story is engaging.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hard to say if I have a favorite, but Severn is a quiet, solid support to the main character. There isn't a lot of time given to him, but the glimpses of this character leaves a good feeling.

Any additional comments?

Listening to this book left me feeling a little lost a couple of times as I tried to track where they were and where they were trying to get, but the story was very good and kept me engaged.

Gaining a much better understanding of just how little we know of the Baroni. And getting to know Kaylin and Teela better.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cast in Courtlight?

When she gets to meet the Lord of the Green for the first time inside his soul. I really like him.

What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

I love how she treats all of her characters. she makes them all individual.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I dislike this question. I wish someone would make this series into a series of movies like Harry Potter. I can just SEE the man who would be Sanabalis. Or even better--The Archon! but while I can just Hear a young James Earl Jones growling Marcus' lines, he is too dignified to act the part. So I am still trying to find the "right" personality AND voice for Marcus. Not to mention Nightshade.

If you could sum up Cast in Courtlight in three words, what would they be?

Mysterious Foreshadowing Illuminating

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cast in Courtlight?

There is a part where Kaylin (sp heard the book, never saw the spelling for her name.) gained herself a name, which by rote implies that she is now Immortal, because mortals don't have NAMES (the deep can bind you ones). But at the time she also grabbed a second name, which is a key element in this book.

What does Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She totally gets the attitude of Kaylin, she personifies her completely to the extent that you start feeling her angst against things she cannot control. *lol*

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Hrmm....No. I did get a little sad when the new mother was chosen, and was glad when the new lord of the court came forth, but no real extremes.

Any additional comments?

This series is getting interesting. Kaylin seems almost a force of nature. A natural power check on the re-awakening of the ancients perhaps. I don't know, but look forward to book three. :)

Absolutley! One of my favs in the last year. Started with #7 on sale and was so impressed I just bought the first book and am now starting #4. Missing work to listen through the series! Picky about my purchases and this enire series is worth the credits.

What other book might you compare Cast in Courtlight to and why?

I enojoyed his book as much as my first read..#7. First book was good but 2 and 7 are my favorites so far. More adult with less of the erotica in many female fantasy reads. It's one of my top listens the year if not the best. Enjoy it as much as my Bujold Vorkosigan series or Flints 1632. Highly recommend the series. Kind of an Eve Dallas story set in a fantasy world.

What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

Good solid performance. Did have a bit of trouble following some of the characters due to a lack of more than a couple of accents and the confusing names.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Only the insatiable desire to get through the entire stories 7.5 books ASAPP.I know it's good, as I have ignored work for nearly a week now.
